Refusing services to Tommy Robinson. Morally right?

A member of staff at Selfridges refused to serve the EDL leader, they were suspended from the store. But declining to interact with someone who propagates hatred on a daily basis is a perfectly rational thing to do. 

It is factual to say that Mr Robinson and a friend were refused service at a Selfridges store. He protested and filmed the encounter. Selfridges have issued a statement expressing their disappointment at the incident. They said they pride themselves on making everyone welcome. After this incident, the staff involved was suspended and, amusingly, Tommy Robinson was treated to a three course meal by the shop owner. 

Was this a heroic act of courage by a brave man who is standing up to a racial bully  or an unbelievable, stubborn performance of unprofessionalism? Everyone would recognise that a member of staff has the right to refuse to interact with a customer under particular circumstances. People work for their employers; they do not belong to them. Security staff in bars and clubs routinely eject and ban patrons who are obnoxious, inappropriate or threatening, so why should the staff not have the right to do the same? 

It is important to note that the members of staff filmed by Mr Robinson appeared to be of ethnic minority origin. Mr Robinson is the head of an organisation which goes around in balaclavas, threatening violence. He is the leader of an organisation which speaks to “every single Muslim” and warns them that they will feel “the full force of the EDL”. He is the head of an organisation which advocates“all Muslims rounded up and deported back to the Hell Holes they came from.”

So, I think it is exceedingly justifiable that a member of staff that is from an ethnic minority to not serve the leader, that is practical hero worshiped by his "followers",  of an organisation which promotes segregation and goes against national community cohesion to not be served by a member of an ethnic minority, whose life could be affected by Tommy Robinson's views, completely and utterly legitimate.
